★★★★ · Go Jackie Go!! · Bill Lee · 2007-02-28
I really enjoyed this movie, Jackie is a much better actor than you would expect, and getting a chance to see him in action on the baseball field is still exciting. They don't have many speedsters like him in the big leagues anymore. This movie is a little on the melodramatic side, but it doesn't shy away from the opposition that Jackie faced, and still makes you root for Jackie. Definately worth a watch.

The later movie "42" is more historically accurate, but, hey! This is the REAL Jackie Robinson not some pretend movie actor!!
